Delicious and simple to make, Baked Camembert with Red Pepper Relish is perfect for anyone trying to cut back on their carbs. This is a fabulous way to use up any excess red peppers/capsicums that you might have. The relish freezes really well making it a great stand by recipe should you have unexpected guests drop by.
Red pepper relish on it’s own would also be fabulous used as a condiment. Add it with bbq and cold meat or use to add additional flavor to foods such as burgers, quiches and tarts. I particularly love to serve it as part of a cheese platter, as it does go well really well with cheese.
